whoot!! {{hugs}} sprite. how was your night? how is Terra doing?
1:49 am
sprite
hello dear friend :) My night was moderately ok. And Terra is a lot better than yesterday. Moves easier, whines no more, looks like a happier dog.
1:49 am
sprite
and you, hun? How was your day?
1:49 am
grannyrose
good for Terra. pfft on your night.
1:50 am
grannyrose
hmmm, a bit busy. broke a piece on our shower fitting this am. so we have had to replace it, plus the week's grocery, fruit, veg and meat shop. oh and the chemist.
1:51 am
sprite
so glad. It is awful to see your dog suffer like that. Good thing was, he made perfectly clear he needed us close. Cuddled up against us in a blanket, he was relaxed.
1:51 am
sprite
oh dear... that is too much, rose. Preventative magnesium, methinks.
1:53 am
grannyrose
already taken, sweetie
1:53 am
sprite
hehehe good girl :) *hugs* for your poor body.
1:56 am
Lizlin
Hi and hugs, ladies. Not chatting. Focussing on this grid, which I am not liking!
1:56 am
sprite
hey Liz :D Explain to me... why focus on a grid you don't like and not chat with the girls you do like?
1:57 am
grannyrose
np's liz girl. {{hugs}}
1:58 am
Lizlin
Ok so I can't beat that argument for logic, so I guess I'll chat. Busy day tomorrow though - cooking and cleaning - friends for dinner. So the challenge needs to be met now!
1:59 am
grannyrose
*giggle* liz
2:00 am
Lizlin
:) and of course I like you much more than any grid!
2:00 am
sprite
hehehe you pick and choose, Liz, I was just teasing you. Sounds like fun, having friends over for dinner. What are you cooking?
2:01 am
Lizlin
Thai chicken curry, rice and salad.
2:01 am
sprite
oh sounds delish! When you find the time, would you mind sending me the recipe?
2:01 am
Lizlin
I knew that but still the logic was irresistible.
2:01 am
sprite
lol yeah :D Am glad.
2:02 am
Lizlin
Will do, tho as we also hope to beach walk in the afternoon, we'll cheat and use a paste as the base!
2:02 am
sprite
and rose, you said you would send me a recipe too, for easy and quick cooking and delish results.
2:03 am
grannyrose
oh yeah, so i did. writing down a prompt now.
2:03 am
sprite
awesome :D
2:03 am
Lizlin
What recipe is that, Rose?
2:04 am
grannyrose
for my fried rice.
2:05 am
Lizlin
Sounds good :)
2:05 am
grannyrose
it is so full of vegs and meats, and omelet you do not need anything else on your plate.
2:05 am
Lizlin
Sounds very good.
2:06 am
Lizlin
Where oh where are 73 words hiding?
2:08 am
sprite
I think they are sitting behind my 109 left
2:08 am
grannyrose
* peek-a-boo...i see you *
2:08 am
Lizlin
You'll find yours before me!
2:12 am
sprite
108 left, lol
2:13 am
sprite
go go gooo Liz!
2:14 am
Lizlin
No I lie that last word will plural, so 70!
2:14 am
sprite
ah, going strong there, Liz.
2:14 am
Dianne
Hi all. Hope everyone is well. Hey Rose, can I get in on that fried rice recipe?
2:14 am
sprite
hey Dianne :) Your recipe was a success here.
2:15 am
Lizlin
What was that recipe?
2:15 am
Dianne
Glad your family enjoyed it.
2:15 am
grannyrose
sure thing dianne. do i have your email addy?
2:15 am
Dianne
Liz, it was a skillet pork chop recipe.
2:16 am
Lizlin
Ah! Not for me then - don't eat pork.
2:16 am
grannyrose
just checked, yes i do
2:16 am
Lizlin
I'm sure it was lovely though.
2:17 am
sprite
yeah it was. You could replace the pork with kosher chicken, I think. Or lamb.
2:18 am
Lizlin
Could do! So perhaps you'd send me the recipe - I'm sure we can manage something!
2:18 am
Dianne
I think it would be good with chicken on the bone but not as good with skinless chicken breast.
2:19 am
sprite
true, skinless chicken would become too dry
2:19 am
Lizlin
So thighs would work.
2:19 am
grannyrose
or drumettes, the little drum sticks from the wings.
2:20 am
Lizlin
Also sounds good.
2:20 am
rolin
hey all.... liz.... does pete still make stuffed chicken wings?
2:20 am
Lizlin
Glad dinners in the oven - starting to feel hungry!
2:21 am
Lizlin
He talks about it,Ro.
2:21 am
Lizlin
Loved the poppy pics, Ro.
2:21 am
grannyrose
g'day rolin
2:22 am
rolin
i just had a flash of that recipe... i will have to see if i can find one...
2:22 am
rolin
yeah liz... den had a great time... there's another group from his work going today...but the weather is awful...so they won;t have as pleasant an experience
2:23 am
Lizlin
I guess from the pics it's a big anniversary project - is it just in London?
2:27 am
rolin
oh yes...only in london... there will be over 800,000 poppies planted ... one for each dead soldier in ww1... the last one will be planted on the 11th
2:27 am
Lizlin
Fantastic.
2:27 am
sprite
oh that is beautiful, rolin
2:29 am
rolin
the plan is to dismantle it on the 12th.... but ppl are now saying it should stay...and maybe be dismantled in four years for the length of the war... but there are too many practical probs...one of which is that every poppy has been bought by the public
2:30 am
Lizlin
It looks wonderful. P and I both went all tingly at the thought of it.
2:30 am
rolin
yeah... and i'm pissed that i might not see it!... we're thinking that we will go in first thing sunday... we're off to cardiff for rugby tomorrow
2:31 am
Lizlin
Enjoy! Rich asked if we wanted tickets for the cricket World Cup but we'll be in NZ.
2:32 am
Lizlin
Hope you do get up to see the poppies.
2:33 am
rolin
oh lovely..... but for now i'm off to carve into a little pot... bye all..
2:33 am
Lizlin
Enjoy your day.
2:34 am

3:05 am

Yesterday I set the time and he can hear the funny voice perfectly. What is funny is that it is 1/2 a day later (th date) because in the afternoons, you are the next day. But I'll figure it out.

3:21 am

What type of work-out do you do, Sukee?
5:35 am
zoozzoom
Rowing machine...walking machine..weights?
5:35 am
sukee
Well, do the recumbent bike, some bar exercises like leg lifts, and several machines that I don't know the name of. Ones that let you push various parts of your body against weights.
5:36 am
zoozzoom
Sounds good. Hope you are feeling the benefits of all this hard work.
5:36 am
sukee
This wellness center is for those 55 and over. You basically get a personal trainer if you want. Plus, you get to know people and I now have a group I meet for coffee after.
5:37 am

5:44 am
crosshair

5:45 am
zoozzoom
I coud not agree with you more, Crossy. i used to do 10 mile charity bike rides with ease.just need to get back into the swing of things..lol
5:45 am
crosshair

5:45 am

5:46 am
zoozzoom
Yes I have been getting back into walking near the forest I have here.Love trails & nature type things.
5:47 am

We have that in spade around my town with the Bruce Trail, so I have no excuse.
5:48 am
zoozzoom
except when it rains and gets really muddy and it gets caked all over your shoes it feels like you are walking with two massive bricks on the bottom ot the shoes..lol
5:48 am
crosshair
Though our coming winter will close down all but a few of those trails and I shall have to switch to my snowshoes and the trails we have for that.
5:49 am
crosshair
No, I do not wade in mud:(

saanichcat
hi there stidgmere, long time no talk! How are you? Did you get the storm last night? It was raging here, had no power almost all day and night. Please say hi to stidmama for me
6:45 pm
stidgmere
Stidmama let me know the roads to her work were very rainy and windy so I did not volunteer yesterday. Bummer. We were very lucky here at home but we had already checked on our generator and were ready for any events. It has been far too long without seeing you.
6:46 pm
saanichcat
Do you have a trip planned up this way in the Spring?
6:47 pm
stidgmere
Not yet, but I really do want to see if Stidmama can break away during a long weekend or spring break.
6:52 pm
stidgmere
Oh my I thought I was doing well until I got to all the sh words.
6:54 pm
saanichcat
oh good, glad to hear it, looking forward to your visit. You are welsome to stay here, I have enough beds. Back to the puzzle for now...
6:59 pm
stidgmere
We want you to be our guest, this time snnich. What a gift it is to have good friends!
7:01 pm
saanichcat
OK we will trade off! You stay here with me where I am, then I will come with you to where you go from here and stay with you! That sounds like fun..can hardly wait to see you both again.
7:02 pm
stidgmere
Now that is a lovely way to spend more time visiting and going to a few more locations. The island has sooo much to offer for visitors!
7:03 pm
saanichcat

7:04 pm
stidgmere
The idea is hatched.
7:07 pm
Bugsaw

7:09 pm

I want to be on the Babble Bus too but I live too far away.
7:10 pm
saanichcat
you never know how far the Babble Bus can go peri….
7:10 pm
Bugsaw
I think it would be so much fun to have a Babble bus travel around the continent picking up and dropping off Babblers. The part is on board.
7:10 pm
periwinkle
I love the idea
7:13 pm
Bugsaw
It would be so much fun to see the country with friends. I am onboard if ever this fantasy comes to pass
7:14 pm
saanichcat
same here!
7:14 pm

7:15 pm

what do they call trailers nowadays: motorhomes I think
7:15 pm
Bugsaw
and a million bucks to afford the gas!
7:15 pm
periwinkle
we could all lchip in for the gas
7:16 pm
Bugsaw
who would drive? Might have to be a non-Babbler so they don't get distracted
7:17 pm
saanichcat
that is funny Bugs!
7:21 pm
stidgmere
Hi just back from talking to Stidmama. She doesn't know about our Babble Bus idea yet but I think she will be on board.
7:22 pm
stidgmere
I need to get a bigger, newer vehicle Maybe a bus (one of those with great paint jobs and bathrooms) is what I need. Of course I will need to sell the house, car, husband, dog, children and so.
7:23 pm
Bugsaw
that is the main drawback with this plan gmere. Must be a virtual bus I guess.
7:23 pm
stidgmere
Right now, but bugs, you know how we think about things and they can come true.
